Background and approach
Rebecca draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to build new coping habits. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people stay present and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help when someone wants to set small, realistic goals and keep moving forward.
Her practice pays attention to specific life contexts like adoption and foster care questions, abandonment, aging and caregiving stress, blended family issues, and end-of-life concerns. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, and the impacts of natural or human-caused disasters. Rebecca has eight years of professional experience and holds Missouri license number MO LCSW 2020028680.

Approach and access: therapy that fits your life
Rebecca combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. Client-centered work means conversations focus on the person's priorities and strengths, helping them steer the pace and direction of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and support calmer decision making.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods make sense for their goals and preferences. Together they set short-term goals and adjust techniques as needs change, so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options give practical flexibility while keeping the focus on steady progress.
